There is a drug that cures diabetes but it is legal only in one or at least a few countries. I think it can have a dangerous risky side effect. I think I'd rather risk it than be on a bad med forever.

Several years ago when I got so close to being told I was a type II diabetic I did a lot of research and made diet changes and lost a lot of weight. At the time I was on an Atkins program and it worked. I just wish those sweet treats they have were not so darned expensive.

When Dr. Atkins had his accident that claimed his life it was a very saddening event. I had just watched him on the Larry King show right before it happened.

That is usually something docs want to know why.... It could be simply you don't eat enough calories in a day. I forget what the normal minimum for most adults is but at least a thousand I think. The brain burns calories and the heart burns calories even when we sleep.

One of the questions I used to see when after a move getting a new doc was "Have you lost or gained weight recently?"

I've been blessed with no fear of needles. I can look and watch them do it with awe. How to they find a small vein and insert a needle by feel I'll never understand.
